I’ve discussed at some length elsewhere why it’s difficult to formulate a legitimate test of AppGuard, so won’t repeat it here. Although I’m sure I can develop some protocol that is fair and unbiased in the future, in the meantime I’d like to present this one (a pruduct of free time and 3 or 4 glasses of wine).
While watching keep in mind a few things:
1). It’s not a difficult thing for Scriptor malware to get by a primary traditional security solution (like in this video),
2). and as was illustrated in a test in late May, the commonly used second opinion scanners aren’t very good at detecting the primary vector, no less the spawn that establishes itself on the system, and
3). a Scriptor can be coded to make itself Hidden and autostart by various means (like most Worms).
For all of the reasons above one can see that cleaning an infected system may not be at all straightforward.
The question is can AppGuard cleanup easier?
